sea so much that their submerged por-
tions melt away, in which case the
upper part becomes the heavier, and
the berg presently turns topsy-turvy.
This last calamity did not, indeed,
occur, but while the castaways were
toasting their bears meat on the third
morning they felt a tremendous quiv-
er run through the berg, and the next
moment, with a splitting sound, a
whole third of the mass cracked off,
and fell into the sea with a fright,
full splash, covering the remnant lett
with salt water and spray, and tear
ing away and drowning their boat.
The loss of this portion gave to their
refuge a strong list to port, while it
cillation, which made them expect that
it might at any instant capsize. By
and by, however it fioated steadily
again, and the men were still able to
take refuge in their cavern, and to
keep up their little fire of boat-wood
and dried sea-weed, sending UP its
column of dark smoke against the
blue background of the berg. This
was their flag OF distress, the last for
lorn signal which they would be able
to make; and it eventually answered
its purpose, for just as the mate was
breaking up and kindling the only bit
of planking left them, a steamship
was seen suddenly approaching
from behind O. large iceberg to
the southeast. She had OBJ
served afar off the thin column OF
smoke ascending from the shoulder Of
the drifting berg, and, being herself q
whaler, conj jectured tnat it must be q
signal OF distress. With this convic-
ton had she been steadily working to-
wards the men for some time before
they spied her, following the channels
in the pack-ice In an hour after she
was first described the castawavs-
thus suddenly lifted from despair to
rejoicing-were safe and sound on
board her, though here, indeed, occurs
another little touch in the narrative
which inclines US, we must confess, to
be skeptical. Says the narrator: at
is not for the purpose of exaggerating
the perils of our adventure that tell
you we had not steamed two miles
from that berg when it split in three
portions with thunderous sounds,
and every portion turned turtle. Our
ship. as we afterward came to know,
searched for us for the best part of a
week, and then, feeling that we must
have certainly been lost, put up her
helm and was off to new cruising
ground, while we were entered on the
log book as thousands of Others have
BEEN" The story is hereby rounded
off, almost too perfectly, with this
erownins event OF the berg's capsizine.
Truth has no public to consult in
the circulating libraries as Fiction has
and does not usually wind up the last
pages OF her third volumes with so
neat and symmetrical an effect. New
ertheless, this occurrence also was
possible enough, and the American
whalemen either went through one OF
the most horrible and seemingly hope
less adventures on record, or else have
had among them shipmate whose
genius fol invention is OF firsr-rate
order. In the one case, the moral OF
the tale appears to be that no posi-
tion is ever so desperate as to preclude
hope.

The Commune OfParis.

But few people are fully aware of the
immense proportions which the Par
is Commune had taken on before it's
final suppression. It's military strength
was simply enormous. Cluseret told
me of his furnishing rations, at the
time he was delegate to the Ministry
OF War, to one hundred and twenty
five thousand soldiers in Paris. And
the amount of war material found
in possession of the Commune at the
time of it's collapse was prodigious.
There were 548, 900 guns, OF different
models, Sds with sabre bayo-
nets; $4,000 cavalry sabres,
of every form and description;
1000 Enfield rifles; 39, 900 revolvers;
making q total of nearly 100000
weapons of every kind taken from the
hands of the Communards. indie.
pendently OF the vast amount of this
particular material, the military
authorities of the Commune had
1,7OO pieces of cannon and mitraillaus-
es, which they had robbed from the
city and which they used with such
terrible effect. But what must ever
excite amazement is the knowledge of
the vast number of people in Paris at
this time who not only were in sym.
pathy with the Commune, but who
abetted and sustained it in it's career
OF crime and blood. The minority,
embracing the better class of Paris,
was completely cowed and subdued
by this vast insurrectionary mass OF
populatlon.-Ex- Minister +. B. Wash
burne, in Scribners' Magazine for
April. "

MaStleSS ShipS of War.

The following from the London
Times, is of much interest to peo-
pie proposing to build q navy:
At the Royal United Service Insti-
tuition, Admiral Well presiding, Cap
tain Eitzgerald,R. N, lectured on
mastlass ships Of war. The lecturer
said that, though he was of the opin-
ion that it would be advisable to un-
rig Immediately all our present iron
clads yet he considered that the car
rying out Of the idea would be more
applicable to future designs Tor our
cruisers than to the unrigeing of our
present single-crewP corvettes. He
maintained that there was no econ
omy in having masts and sails as
these wore out rapidly and did not
save Goals, as they stopped the ship
more in foul winds than they assisted
her in fair. +" He pressed that
our present rugged ironclads would
be more powerful fighting ma
chimes without their spars and rigging
than with them, leaving in their lower
inasts and turning the tops into small
machine-gtln batteries. The principal
arguments for the abolition OF spars
and sails in men Of war, but more par.
ticularly in iron-clads, were that the
weight Qf Tnasts and sails caused in,

able space both on deck and below

dispatch from Springfield, Ill.,, of the
l4th says: The remains OF President and
Mrs. Lincoln were privately taken fro
their secret resting place this morning ana
inferred in the north vault OF the Lincoln
monument in Oakridge cemetery, near this
city. Less than dozen persons, members
of the Lincoln Monument associ-
alton and Lincoln Guard OF Hon
or, were present. For years the
whereabouts OF the remains OF the
great president and his wife has been vest
ed III mystery from anxiety that they
would be stolen to obtain huge ransom
foI their return. The actual attempt to
carry OIL the bodies i'll 1876 was the NOV
ing cause OF the formation of the guard
OF honor, which organization secreted
them, and to-day surrendered the
charge. Great care was taken
to keep the event of this morning Il pro-
found secret. Few besides the little knot
OF guards were present. The secret grave
was directly under the north entrance, but
only accessible through the south door
a door on the north of the hole where the
Lincoln relics are kept leads through u
;long passage, first east. then north,
then west and then south. TO II
recess. ltere, three teet below the surface
of the ti"or. were deposited the remains oi
Lincoln and his wife. The body OF Mr..
Lincoln was in IL walnut coffin lined with
an arch light lead lining about one eighth
of an inch thick. The walnut coffin was in
n cedar box, aud the box was inclosed in II
pine box. Mrs. Lincon's remains were
similarly incl, sed. Twenty-Five years
ago Lincoln was shot.
When the guards, with the help OF a few
laborars, had exhumed the coffin and the
lid OF the president coffin was removed,
his face was seen to be in Il remarkable
state of preservation. Those who stood
around, and had known Lincoln when
alive easily discerned the features. They
were very distinct. The silver plate on the
coffin lid was very bright. On the plate
was Inscribed the following:

ed to warlike stores. They masked
more or less, the fire OF guns. There
was a probability of wreckaee from
them fouling the screw in action, and
lastly, though perhaps the strongest
argument of all, was in the fact that
the retention Of masts and sails in
men-of.war diverted so much the at
tention, the energy and the resources
of both officers and men from the real
work of their profession, and from the
study of modern naval warfare, and
occupied them in drills and exer-
cises as obsolete for fighting purposes
as the bow.and-arrow drill OF the Sax

position thereto before action be taken on
such application.
After the adoption OF the above resolu-

SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC.

On last Thursday afternoon the
Methodist Sunday school held their an
nual picnic. It was of rather novel
nature and enjoyable, the only uncon-
genial feature being the north easterly
lake wind. About 4:30 P. M. the school
assembled at their church and marched
to desirable location on the lake shore
just north of Kemper Hall. An inter-
esting program of an exciting nature
had been arranged, consisting of fire.
works, balloon ascensions, bonfire, floats,
etc., but owing to the weather, wind and
waves, part of the performance was inn
possible, and part impracticable. Re-
.freshments, ice cream, cake and pea
nuts, also, had been provided, and as
for these the weather had little to do
with defeating the purpose for which
they were intended. They disappeared.
So did the balloons-all three went up.
Our suspicious were somewhat aroused
when we saw couple of our good
Methodist brethren with few of the
younger generation huddled together
down behind high board fence and
noticed in the hands of one bottle of
alcohol, but when we discovered the
balloons we were obliged to let them off
once more. The balloons all went up ::
for variety's sake, two in smoke, and one
sailed above and across the country out
of sight. About z 80 dishes were gather
ed up and all started for home gay
and lively crowd. II.
